Tips for Using This Light on Your Project | BEST BUDGET LINEAR CLOSET LIGHT:
Dimming:
All dimmers are not created equal. Flickering and buzzing can often be traced back to using a dimmer that isn’t compatible with the LED, or to connecting too many LEDs to a single dimmer. Quality lighting manufacturers often publish literature on which dimmer lines can be used with their LED light fixture. This particular light manufacturer has recommends a Triac CL Dimmer. For my projects I like to use Lutron Diva CL Dimmers. It is always worthwhile budgeting for quality dimmers that are compatible with the LED you have chosen.
